President Donald Trump plans to meet Congress leaders on both sides of the aisle on Monday, while a possible government closure is looming, confirmed a White House official in Fox News.

The meeting comes after the president canceled one last week with Democrats, saying that they had “non -serious and ridiculous requests”.

The head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer, Dn.y., and the minority head of the Hakeem Jeffries room, DN.Y., had to meet Trump on Thursday to discuss a path to follow to avoid a partial closure of the government before the deadline of September 30.

Schumer and Jeffries will now meet Trump, with the president of the room Mike Johnson, R-La., And the majority leader John Thune, Rs.d.

Schumer and Jeffries published a joint declaration on Saturday at the reprogrammed meeting.

“President Trump has once again accepted a meeting at the oval office,” the statement said. “As we have said on several occasions, the Democrats will meet anywhere, at any time and with anyone to negotiate a bipartisan expenditure agreement which meets the needs of the American people. We are resolved in our determination to avoid a closure of the government and to respond to the crisis in republican health care.

The Senate is expected to return on September 29 after the new Jewish year, and the room is expected to be released until the deadline to maintain the passing financed by the government.

In a long article on TRUTH Social last week, Trump owed Schumer and Jeffries for pushing “radical policies for which no one voted”.

“I decided that no meeting with their Congress leaders could be productive,” added Trump at the time.

The meeting now committed with Trump came in the heels of a letter from Schumer and Jeffries sent this weekend where the best Democrats in the Congress put the possibility of closing his feet and the Republicans.

They argued that the short -term extension supported by Trump was “dirty”, which would mean that he had partisan policy and spending attached to it, and tilted him to continue “the republican assault against health care”, ignoring the expiration of affordable care hospitals (ACA) across the country.

“With the deadline of September 30 at the rapid approach, the Republicans will be responsible for another painful closure of the government due to the refusal of the Directorate of the GOP Congress to speak with the Democrats,” they wrote at the time.

But Trump argued that their bill would allow the repeal of the abrogation of nearly 1 dollars of Medicaid in his “large and beautiful bill”, and also exploded the continuous democratic resolution (CR) to put an end to the rural hospital of $ 50 billion in his bill.

“We have to keep the government open and legislate like real patriots rather than keeping American citizens hostage, knowing that they want our now prosperous country,” he said.

“I will be happy to meet them if they accept the principles of this letter,” continued Trump. “They have to do their job! Otherwise, it will just be another long and brutal slog through their radicalized moving sands. For the leaders of the Democratic Party, the ball is in your court. I can’t wait to meet you when you become realistic about the things our country represents. Do the right thing!”

Without any action, a closure would start at 12:01 p.m. on Wednesday.

Johnson said last week that he had encouraged Trump to cancel the meeting last Thursday.

“He and I talked about it for a long time yesterday and the day before. I said, look, when they do their jobs, once they have done the basic work of government maintenance, as president, so you can have a meeting with him,” said Johnson in the “Mike & McCarty Show”. “Of course, it could be productive at that time, but right now, it’s just a waste of time.”
